A Metropolitan Police officer who harassed his wife has been sacked from the force and ordered to pay over £2,000 by the court. PC Matthew Cosgrove, 45, of Shelduck Close, Rochester, was convicted of harassing Clair Cosgrove, now Clair Bolton, at Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 27 last year after a trial.

After a misconduct hearing held on December 13, the officer, who lives in Kent, was dismissed without notice. An outcome summary published on the Met Police website said 'Gross Misconduct proven for discreditable conduct following the officer's conviction for Harassment' and 'Dismissal without notice'.

He is also banned from making contact with her for two years

Why on earth would they put a time limit on it? He's displaying very concerning behaviours, which are known to escalate in a high proportion of cases.

It should be a lifetime ban on initiating contact with a substantial indefinitely suspended prison sentence if he breaks it. He needs to get a fucking grip, not spend two years stewing over it while planning his revenge.
